Has there been demand from level 6 clubs for further regionalisation? Many of the scenarios seem to be looking at moving from two L6 leagues (East and West) to three (SW,SE and NE)

If a level 6 team is hoping to do well and even get promoted in to L5 then surely they will need to get used to a certain amount of cross region travel.

Maybe Lancashire have it right after all and the RFU should massively reduce their remit and allow local/regional areas to have their own set up with maybe a potential pathway or application for any clubs that find themselves in circumstances where they want to challenge their way up through the leagues

If the clubs are unhappy at the amount of travel and want to play more regional, local rugby to suit modern lives why do so many clubs at L6 offer payment to players?

L6 weren't part of the discussion forums.

Quite why i do not know as promotion/relegation would have a direct bearing with L& and any possible changes.

The cynic in me suggests the committee were and are hoping to force their will on this.

Unlike the Yorkshire meeting I understand the Lancashire meeting was quite civilized. With all clubs in the RFU leagues and the ADM Lancashire Leagues being invited as well as some from the NOWIRUL Leagues. Only know this second hand as I couldn't go.

its my understand that the Yorkshire Clubs in attendance where a little abrasive toward the RFU panel

At the Lancs meeting I believe some Clubs from Level 6 down where in attendance although it was stressed that unless you were a L6 Club being relegated this season none of any the proposals up for discussion would effect any L6 Clubs next season or indeed until after 2020/21 at the earliest but thats a whole new discussion in itself. Given the relative success of the Lancashire Leagues (stressed more than once by those Clubs from it at the meeting) then you could conclude that maybe CB (County) based Leagues from L7 down are the way forward but that may create some issues for the smaller CBs in the North particularly Cumbria and Cheshire.
